Method

Step 1

Place coffee, chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water), stirring until the chocolate and butter have melted. Remove bowl from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Place yolks, whiskey, vanilla, 150g sugar and 1 tablespoon cold water in a separate heatproof bowl set over the simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) and whisk with electric beaters for 3 minutes or until thick and pale. Remove the bowl from the pan and sit in a larger bowl filled with iced water (don’t let any water get in the yolk mixture), then continue to whisk for a further 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and cools slightly. Stir in the chocolate mixture until combined.

Step 3

Whisk the eggwhites in a clean bowl with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add the extra 1 tablespoon sugar and beat until stiff and glossy.

Step 4

Gently stir one-quarter of the eggwhite into the chocolate mixture to loosen, then fold in the remaining eggwhite until combined.

Step 5

Spoon the chocolate mousse into small serving glasses, leaving a 2cm gap at the top. Chill for 3-4 hours to set.

Step 6

Whisk thickened cream and Baileys together until stiff peaks form, then spoon over the mousse. Scatter with grated chocolate and serve chilled.
